Randomly?
2011-05-19, after a great war effort against NC's pets, WN drops a station in T-GCGL, 4 jumps out of Tribute.
Keep us posted if you have any other quality intel you'd like to share with the community.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to intex encapor again.
Be interesting to see how eager PL leadership is to take a contract which is likely to be a LOT of structure shooting and limited fights. I assumed that DRF would spend a month or two identifying all the CSAAs and then go down there and blitz em all, rather than actually going for the sov grind which doesn't really mean much in the long term.
If PL does leave as well for whatever reason, that leaves Branch/tribute tech pretty much wide open for CF acquisition. Maybe the sov too if they can find a decent alliance to take it.
I'd have to agree that setting us timers and just taking fights when it's convenient should be a winning strategy. Hiring PL as structure shooter/us tz boogeyman will be incredibly expensive, especially if it comes at the cost of their venal income. In addition, DRF have no way of holding the space and will just get rolled back.
I've always been surprised at how quickly alliances fold from losing space, especially when the resilience to be able to lose it and maintain coherency is one of the best ways of actually keeping it.
I am sure the CF will be happy to go after the Russians tech moons in the north, I mean come on wouldn’t it be good to add RA, XEATHXX and WN to the “head shot” VFK coalition?
And the US timer didn’t stop the Russians from taking germinate, even before PL came into the picture. If A and SW think they are better than the NC was they are more delusional than I thought
The US Timers didn't stop the Russian's from getting Germinate, but it sure as hell slowed them down, when PL came into the mix they had better numbers in US Timezone and didn't have to alarm for every timer.And the US timer didn’t stop the Russians from taking germinate, even before PL came into the picture. If A and SW think they are better than the NC was they are more delusional than I thought
White Noise or any other of the Russian Entities Solar/ xxdeath never attacked(or tried too I should say) Deklein in the first place. The only reason I could see the CF trying to get Branch would be cause "White Noise DDOS our Mumble/TS3" whichever it was I forget. Tribute is a different matter, but as was already tried NC. Evoke and the rest didn't fair too well in Deklein, they had their moments with their super blob as we know, but I bet Mittani would be willing to leave a few targets around them. Last thing you want to do would be pissing off the Ruskies by attacking Branch. Lest that super blob descend upon you. I know I've had it happen to me lul.
Thinking of all them supers PL/Evoke/NcDot had that was without the Russian ones. Even though the goons are great on a subcap level there's only so long you could hold out against that many supers.
p.s: Do not mean to make a supercap discussion ^^,
You mad Bro? you see I too can be a retard. If you think the lights of the Maverick navy, Blackwater and black asses is gone be any kind of asset in the US time zone for you, again, you are delusional.
Will get their face stomped like a two quid whore. You know it, I know and everyone else knows it.
This war will turn out like the last one, a constant reminder of how shit A are…
Nope. We did it in B-D at the start of the second Fountain invasion phase. Worked a treat, too. I imagine that others have done so, too.

I still think dropping an outpost in Provi just to have a base is ridiculous. There's plenty of NPC stations WN could stage out of, close to Catch (from Curse, from Stain, from Khanid...), that could serve their purpose well.
(Incidentally, it's bordered by CVA systems on all sides (even the Catch side). Not that it means much in reality, I just thought it was odd symbolism)
With the amount of ISK in game why wouldn't they drop a station. what is a few bill ISK in today's game.....![]()
PS i am seeing something interesting/sad happening in EvE. Everyone is eather: "dont piss off DRF or they will stomp you: As in; living within the tolerance of DRF", or "already a official pet or henchman of the DRF". Seems we have already become a Chinese server. CCP all your game changes in the last 1,5 year have made the game more one sided then it already was.
The only thing I see is a bunch of people crying huge amounts of tears when they really shouldn't.

Ya, I thought we had moved past the "DRF owns Eve abloobloobloo" shit. Raiden, Evoke, NCdot, PL, hell even WN, aren't "DRF". The "DRF" (Legion and RED, and sometimes solar) are not exactly spanning the map. A bunch of alliances were pushed into a bloc by the aggressive action of the old dominant bloc. Now they're on top and throwing their weight around. Soon the balance of power will change and one or more new dominant blocs will arise. Let's remember that the exact same shit was being said about NC/goons not even 5 months ago.
funny part is CCP allows them to drop a station when SBU's are up and ihub is in reinforce.gg gg ccp
“Isn't it funny how the mood can be ruined so quickly by just one busted condom”
My memory isn't all that great but did the DRF manage to accomplish much of anything before PL and Raiden showed up? Sure they took sov in several systems but if I remember correctly, few if any were through combat and timers. I won't be surprised if I'm misremembering but I thought they pretty much got the majority of early systems opportunistically.
Ok I understand from lurking on here for years that there is not much love for -A- here. That's allright with me. All of us, we play the game to our strengths.
If I would be DRF would I hire PL? Yes.
Would I drop every SCAP I have? Hell yea.
There is no point blaming your enemy by using all their means they have to win. Same goes for us, we will time structures at 2am just to make attackers alarm clock. We will make your life miserable. You drop titans we will piss you off any way we can.
Take the space, stations whatever. We will move to LGK, fuck your shit up from there. We have all the time in the world and do not have the need to protect Technetium up north.
What do you think will happen when Northeners find out landlord isn't home? They will go and get themselves some moongoo gold.
In the meantime we will fight when it suits us, move away from ge if we have to and see how it goes.
This is what will happen and you know it. Come get some fights, get your revenge. In the end you will have to withdraw to the north po protect your assets there.
tl;dr: Everyone will play to their strengths. Get over it.
Why hide in LGK again? I know it's home and all but why not do something fun, like head up to some low-sec region bordering White Noise space and harass pets or something....
Don't try and punish White Noise.. punish their friends.
Curious,
Nync left ROL to form WN correct? So previously he was -A-'s ally and then became their enemy, what was the story behind that change of heart?
“Isn't it funny how the mood can be ruined so quickly by just one busted condom”
Let me summarize this war:
Lots of structure shooting
-A- goes down to 1500 members
Blob leaves
-A- beat the shit out of whoever is left behind
Wolololol is said on the forums
Repeat infinity
Quick recap:
- No US timezone
- Incoming supercap nerf
- Terrible allies that keep welping (NC.)
Anything else I should report to nync?
What about the fact that we have a "." in our alliance name?
I'm sure that's also a decisive factor when playing internet spaceship games yes?
I mean, it HAS to be!

I have another scenario for you. After next one or two cycles of -A- leaders becoming bitter and leaving to join PL (taking some supers with them) or play LoL (RMTing a few supers to buy new heroes, slots or good looks) -A- turns into total shit and everyone forget it ever existed.
Btw, why ROL are so silent? Too busy running bots I guess. Or maybe they made deal with DRF to backstab -A-?
I cant see anything in my post that contradicts the point you have made tbh :S, so I'm not sure why you quoted me. I actually agree with everything you have to say there. The only reason I was being harsh on -A- is they seem to put them selves on a level par with the rest of stainwagon when it comes resisting invasions. As far i can remember they have done this once and the force that took there space was far greater than the force that lost it. The rest of the wagon on the other hand have done this on numerous occasions, with less resources and mostly without support from -A-. To be fair to triple A they have picked their shit up, maybe not to an ergonomically comfortable position, but at least they dont leave shit stains everywhere they go now. Although now i think about it the absence of shit stains could just be down to manny leaving : /.

I have nothing but utmost respect for SWagon, and as I said before on these forums we will forever be indebted to them for helping us out.
Although we have seen quite an improvement in our fleets these last months, I would still say we have a long way to go to catch up to the rest of SW.

NC. came with a fleet to Catch
Faced with even numbers and less scimitars on the side of the enemy, they ran.
Who was FCing is what I want to know, this isn't the NC. I remember
“Isn't it funny how the mood can be ruined so quickly by just one busted condom”
7+ years in the south from XETIC days. Retired.
INIT and Co. came and I resubbed along with many other vets. Great times.
War ended. Boredom. Retired.
I just resubbed again for this and I'm sure many will as well.
Good luck holding NPC Stain.![]()
ROL was so bothered by the idea of a fight with a handful of t3/logi a few days back that they organized ships and closed a wormhole in order to go back to shooting red Xs in peace. 2nd time I've seen a nullsec alliance do that in 1.5 years in wspace (other was initiative associates). I guess there are various reasons, but groups who aren't eager to kill small groups of t3s are probably not interested in fighting large groups of supercaps.
2010 called ....
No, they don't want their thread back. They just said that Firewalls are a good defense against Drakes.
I was there fighting in 020 and this was my observations: DRF paid off [insert fail RAGE pet here] to drop their sov on the border of geminate, NC took back all but 3 systems I believe. DRF had 020 and a few more. They managed to grab sov in 3 more systems in about a month. NC/DRF had one of the biggest supercap fights ever seen, both sides lost a ton and noone was the real clear winner. DRF was failing to get traction in Gem but they were holding their systems. NC was hitting their structures in USTZ with no opposition. The war was going nowhere but slowly but surely NC was gaining ground (or noone was winning). DRF hires PL and then the rape train settles in and overwhelms RAGE/ME. Contrary to popular belief, morsus mihi pilots were actively involved in the fighting, both subcap and capital, but then we got overwhelmed by the incredible number of supers the new blob could bring. MM decided I guess to be cautious with supers, this overcaution meant we simply could not save Gem/Vale. The merits of this decision can be debated, but MM still has nearly its entire super fleet intact, so that's something I guess. From a grunt's perspective, we didn't understand where our supers were and many of the subcap pilots just said fuck it basically. PL brought an incredible number of caps and much needed USTZ presence (USTZ was the only real strength the NC had against DRF). The rest is well-debated and thoroughly documented history.
Edit: and of course, we failed to win a single meaningful battle against the PL tengu fleet, which further contributed to subcap pilots staying docked or hiding when PL was around, or didn't bother x'ing up for fleets to just sacrifice our battleships anymore.
apparently 1134 in local in 46DP. lag fest galore.
1337 just now lol

It's currently laggy as hell... No idea what side is winning...
